Congruence Shawl

This shawl is designed specifically to be a one-cake-wonder project, making it the perfect WIP to take with you on vacation. Using one single cake of fingering weight yarn (or approx. 1000 m), this shawl will work up in no time, and the meditative stitch patterns will truly allow you to relax while working on it.

In geometry, congruence is when two objects have the same shape and size. This is all I could think about while working on this geometric design – small, identical rectangles that, when put next to each other, form bigger lines, which, in turn, come together to form two identical triangles which meet at the center to create a beautifully textured shawl.

The stitch patterns create a fabulous drape that’s an absolute dream to wrap around your neck. All the while not giving up on the abundance of texture, even on the lace sections!

This pattern is available in English only and uses standard US crochet terminology.
